HP Pavilion G6 WIFI LIGHT ORANGE.

[CoEMaster]

I have an HP Pavilion G6 and for some reason the Wifi button is stuck Orange.

I even swapped out the hardware and Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for the network card.

Nothing works. I have looked into all the forums 

Please help!

Hi:

Does the wireless card show up in the device manager at all?

If not, and you are running on Windows 7, you may need to install this software and use it to turn on the wireless card...

This package provides the HP Connection Manager for the supported notebook models and operating systems.

Yes, the wireless card does show up in the device manager

What model wlan card is it, and if you are running W7, install that software and see if you can turn it on with the software.

How about the F12 key...does that enable the wireless like it does on most of the newer PC's?

and no, the F12 key does not let me enable the wireless.

The mobility center showed no connectivity so I thought that after updating the drivers that the actual hardware was bad. So I ordered a new wireless network card and replace the old one.

Still, no fix.... Orange light still on. No connectivity.

What operating system?  What product number G6?  Product number is on the same sticker as the S/N.
